ChApPiE 9 Dresses and Stupid GuardsLast time:
Robin: "Raven what's wrong?"
Me: "t…th…the…l..l..letter…"
Journal,
What? No! It can't be. Not now! I don't know how to tell them yet. I'm not ready! No no no no!
Robin: "what about the letter?"
Me: "Iiit's from home… from… Azarath… from the Queen…"
BB: "the Queen? What's the Queen of Azarath writing to you about?"
Me: " I'm invited to the annual Christmas and Princess' Birthday Ball."
Wonder: "the princess' ball? But raven, you…"
Me: "YES! The princess' ball! The Princess of Azarath's birthday ball."
Oh come on Wonder. Get it through your head!
Wonder: "ooh! The princess of azarath's ball. I get it!"
Robin: "so you got invited to the Christmas ball. So what? Why are you so shaken about it?"
I have to get back to myself.
Me: "nothing. I just wasn't expecting it, that's all."
Whew! That was a pretty good cover-up if I do say so myself!
Me: "ok, guys! You know what this means…"
Star: "we must go…"
All girls together: "SHOPPING!"
All guys: "awww Man!"
IN THE CAR:
I love the mall! Mall-y mall-y mall-y!
journal,
yay! Finally made it to the mall! Woo hoo!
Me: "ok, so guys, you're gonna need black tux's and girls, we're gonna need some formal gowns!"
Jinx: "ok, we're gonna meet back here at 3:00, K?"
Terra: "ready, set, GO!"
Journal,
We couldn't stop walking by Abercrombie to see the male model inside. Gawd! He was fricken HOTT! Like I'm not kidding you! He was uber-tanned and he had the sexiest six-pack I've ever seen. And he wasn't wearing a shirt. No not at all! I was so excited! He was a magnet to all people of the female persuasion. Girls from all over were like flocking to him.
Wonder: "must …see…if…abs… real…"
Me: "must… poke… abs…"
We are walking over to the store with fingers poking out and wide eyes, having a strong urge to poke at his sexy abs.
Terra: "gawwwww………."
She was drooling by now.
Star: "yes… I do believe he is what you would call 'FRICKEN' HOTT!"
Jinx: "uh huh!…. drools while nodding head
We sat and drooled over him for ages until some other entranced girl bumped into me, knocking me out of my trance.
Me: "ok, guys I shake each person, un-trancing them we really need to get back to our dress shopping.
Terra: "ya, you're right."
Sadly we all had to leave the beautiful sight that is the Abercrombie model and go to find dresses.
Since Star was a princess, she already had one, and Wonder and I both had dresses back home in Azarath, we were only shopping for Terra and Jinx.
Jinx: "does this dress make my butt look big?"
She was trying on a huge puffy prom dress with padding everywhere.
All of us: "um…. Yes."
Jinx: "I thought so!"
Terra: "what about me? Does this dress show too much cleavage?"
She was wearing a slinky little dress with a huge swooped neck that went to right under the breasts.
All of us: "um… ya."
They went to try on their next dresses.
Jinx: "what abut this one?"
She was wearing a long, slinky, sleeveless dress with black lace at the top. (A/n: like the dress that my mom wants me to wear to my Christmas dance!)
All of us: "ewwwwwww! Jinx! Take it off! It's horrible!"
Me: "way too tight."
Star: "way too clingy."
Terra: "and it's just plain ugly!"
Jinx: "I know, I don't really like it either."
Terra: "but what about this one for me?"
She had on a strapless dress that flared out a lot at the bottom. It was black and along the bottom and running up the middle of the dress was a giant white ribbon that started out really fat but got thinner at the top and ended in a bow just off center right under the waist.
Jinx: "wow! Terra! That is a beautiful dress!"
Star: "yes, she is right. And you look most lovely in it as well."
Wonder: "ya, I'm totally in love with it!"
Me: "it's fantabulous!"
Now only Jinx's dress was left.
Jinx: "how's this ladies?"
She was wearing a dress that went to the floor and flared out at the bottom. It would have been strapless if it wasn't for the two thin black chords that acted as straps. There was a thin pink ribbon sewn onto the dress over the breast and divided it into three sections and the rest of the dress into 3 longer sections. It was white on the top outer sections and black in the middle top sections; and the bottom part was black on the outer sections and white in the middle.
She had on a creamy white silk strapless dress with black lace in a pattern around the top. It went to the floor, but when it was picked up, it had black mesh on the bottom making it flare out as well. It had a black ribbon around the waist tied in a bow.
Me: "Jinx, that dress is definitely the one!"
Star: "yes, I must agree."
Wonder: "so totally!"
Terra: "you look great in it Jinx!"
We got the dresses and we left the store.
Jinx: "we've got some time left before we have to meet the guys. Why don't we do some Christmas shopping?"
Wonder: "ya, that's a great idea!"
We decided to go our separate ways. 1st I went to Nordstrom and bought a pair of gold chandelier earrings for Star, new star shaped belt buckle for Wonder, a set of fancy hair barrettes for Terra, a necklace with a sliver J on it for Jinx, and an adorable black and gold clutch for Bee.
Then as I was walking past Charlotte Russe, I saw that they were having a sale on thongs, so I went in and bought everyone a pair of thongs as well, you know as gag-gifts. Terra's was white with puffballs, Star's was pink and sparkly with fur trimming, Jinx's was black with pom poms on it, and Wonder's was purple with polka dots and bows. I would have gotten one for Bee too, but then I imagined her opening the gift at the Titans East tower with only guys around. She would kill me!
Now the hard part was finding the gifts for the guys. I mean, what do guys like to do. I don't really know. I've never been a guy before (and I never will be, unless that is, that I get a sex change, but I highly doubt that will ever happen). BB would probably like a video game, Cy would like a tool belt so that he doesn't have to have me handing him everything, I think I'll get Speedy a leather polishing kit for his quiver thingy (A/n: I think that's what the little arrow holder thing-er-ma-jigger is called.), and I'll get Aqualad a waterproof storage-like thingy to put on his leg for his little underwater weapons.
But I wanted something really special for Robin. I kinda wanted to show him that I was interested in him, but not make it obvious that I liked him. But what should I get! Ugh! Why does this have to be so hard?
journal,
I've found the PERFECT gift for Robin. It's the greatest gift ever! He's so gonna love it! I just know it!

Ohmigawsh! Is it 3:00 already! I really have meet up with everyone else!
Wait…. Where exactly are we meeting? We never set that up!
--- --- --- --- --- --- ---- --- -- -- -- - - - - -- - - -- - - -- - ---- -- - -
Me (calling robin): "robin! It's raven! Where exactly are we meeting?"
Robin: "in the food court at Starbucks."
Me: "ok, got it!"
I went to the Starbucks to find a group of girls gathered around Robin. God! It was the Abercrombie model all over again! And Robin even has a shirt on for God's sake!
Crazed fan girl: "ohmigawd! It's Robin! He's so hott!"
Crazed fan girl #2: "ohmigawd yes! Ahhhhhh! MARRY ME ROBIN!"
Wow! This is really sad! I had to do something. I couldn't let Robin get stampeded by crazed fan girls of the sun!
Me: "OH MI GAWD! DID YOU HEAR THAT THE ABERCROMBIE MODEL IS STRIPPING FOR EVERYONE IN THE STORE!"
Crazed fan girls: "ahhhhhhhhhh! Where? We must go seeeee! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Robin: "thanks Rae. I couldn't take it any longer!"
Me: "no problem. That's got to get annoying some times, right?"
Robin: " ya! But hey, I can't help it if the ladies cant get enough of the Rob-ster and his sexy charm!"

Once we were back home, I had to tell everyone to go and get ready for our trip to Azarath.
Me: "ok, guys. We all have to go and pack now. We're gonna have to go to Azarath the day after tomorrow, k? We'll be there for about 4 days. So that's how much you'll need to pack."
I went up to my room and decided to wrap the presents that I had gotten for everyone. I started taking out all the clothes I would need for the trip.
Lets see…
Jeans… check
Shirts… check
Skirts… check
Shoes… check
Uniform… check
Sweaters… check
Jacket… check
Make-up… check
PJs… check
All the other stuff that is pointless to list… check
I have a huge-ass pile of clothes on my bed. Now to find a bag big enough to fit all of this in.
Ah ha! I found a bag.
Dang it! Not everything fits. Oh well, I guess I'll just take an other bag.
There we go. Now I have two bags that are filled to the exploding point. Dang it! I forgot to put the presents in the bags. I guess I'm gonna need another bag.
Finally everything packed. Wait did I pack everything?
Oh well, if I forgot something then I'll just wear something from my closet at home. I mean, I have a huge closet full of clothes back at home.
Well, I'm really tired. I'm gonna go to sleep! Ciao!
Journal,
I'm excited! We're going to Azarath tomorrow! I'll get to go home. Today Wonder and I spent all day telling stories about when we were little growing up in Azarath. I really wanted to see all the people again. All the townspeople, but most importantly, my mother. I really miss her.
journal,
ahhhhhhhhhh! We're going to Azarath! We're going to Azarath! We're going to Azarath! We're going to Azarath! We're going to Azarath! We're going to Azarath! We're going to Azarath! We're going to Azarath! We're going to Azarath! Yay!
robin: "hey Raven. How are we going to get to Azarath? I mean, I don't think the T-ship can travel inter-dimensionally."
Me: "don't worry. Wonder and I are gonna get us all there."
Wonder: " ya, Raven is a fricken sorceress-like thingy and I have mystical moon powers, in case you've forgotten. And it doesn't hurt that Raven is the…
Me: "Wonder! No! Not now! Lets get ready. Everyone get your bags."
BB: "Dang! What did you chicks pack in those things? Your entire closet?"
He kinda had a point. The only thing the guys had was a duffle and a suit bag for their tuxes. Compared to the girls who each had at least 3 bags. Terra had 4.
Terra: "no, don't be silly. I only packed half of it. DUH!"
BB: "right….."
Me: "ok, y'all! Gather round. Wonder, place the powder around us."
Wonder put the silver powder around all of us in a circle.
Me: "hold on tight. Ready?"
Wonder and I together: "Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Eterna Implora Quiette. Azarath. Azarath. Azarath!"
(A/n: sorry guys. I don't know the words, so I just made them up as I went along. Don't get mad! Get glad!)
We were zooming through a vortex of pinks, and purples, and silvers. Then we crash-landed on a patch of grass.
There standing on a tall hill was the castle. It was tall, and smooth, and silver. There were turrets and turrets topped with deep purple and chrome colored peaks. The cobblestone walkway led all the way up to the castle front door, twisting and turning as it ascended up the hill. The sight was great to see once more.
Me: "Welcome, everyone… to Azarath!"
We walked up the twisting path up the hill to the castle front doors. I was starting to get really nervous.
Robin (catching up to me): "Rae, you're really quiet. Is something bothering you?"
Me: "no. I'm just nervous about meeting the Queen, that's all."
Robin: "oh, alright. Well, just making sure you're ok."
Normally I would be so overjoyed to hear that Robin is worried about me, but I was too nervous to even think straight.
We finally reached the castle doors. There was a giant white bird on them, just like there's always been. There were two bulky looking guards standing outside the doors. They walked up to us and told us to stop.
Stupid guard #1: "you may not enter the castle today."
Stupid guard #2: "ya, visiting time is over, there will be no more guided tours today."
Robin: "we're not here to go on a guided tour, we're here to see the Queen."
The guards chuckled to one another: "and just who gives you permission to see the Queen?"
Me (walking up to the front of the group with Wonder): "we do."
The guards looked at us with huge eyes.
Stupid guard #1: "um yes sorry. Mistress Wonder, Mistress Raven."
Stupid guard #2: "ya, we didn't know it was you."
Me: "well, now you do."
Wonder: "if you would be ever-so-kind as to open up the door for us and tell the Queen that we are here."
Stupid guard #2: "yes milady." (He turned around to open the door.)
Stupid guard #1: "right away milady." (He turned around to help and then walked in through the doors to go and alert the Queen.)
There was a grand entrance hall with white marble pillars lining the hall. There was a stone floor and a beautiful mosaic center decoration on the ground of a white bird, it's wings outstretched. On the opposite end of the hall there was another set of doors, but these were made of oak. Raven knew that these led to the throne room.
We walked down the long hallway and passed by an entrance to another room. We just caught a glimpse of it, but knew it immediately to be the ballroom.
We had finally reached the oak doors and then stupid guard #1 opened them.
Stupid guard #1: "The Queen of Azarath."
We all bowed to her. Well, the guys did, us girls curtsied. Because girls don't bow, that would just be weird.
But I didn't curtsy. I couldn't take my eyes off the Queen. I had tears welling up in my eyes, ready to spill out. Now all my friends were looking at me with awed expressions. I knew what was going through their heads 'Who is she to not bow to the Queen.'
Queen: "welcome back, Raven. We've all missed you."
I couldn't hold it back any longer. I let my tears out and I ran up and hugged the Queen, crying on her shoulder.
Me: "I've missed you too Mammah."
